Clear Bra Paint Protection Questions

3M Paint Protection Film is a durable, high grade, colorless urethane film applied to high impact areas of your vehicle that takes the brunt of damaging road debris. 3M paint protection film is transparent and nearly invisible, and does not alter your vehicle’s good looks.

Yes, it resists yellowing because the film is constructed of thermoplastic urethane, a touch material that is covered by a clear coat layer. The film and clear coat layers contain UV protectants to counteract harmful ultraviolet rays that can cause yellowing.

Stretch marks will appear when paint protection film is stretched past its threshold a significant change in the texture of the film will appear. A small amount of this is acceptable around compound curves but should be very minimal. Excessive gaps at the body edges due to poor pattern design or misalignment. Air or water bubbles that don’t go away due to improper squeegee technique, dust or dirt under the film.

We recommend that any repainted surfaces on your vehicle be professionally painted and fully cured before applying paint protection film. If you have touched up scratches or chips with a tube of “touch-up” paint and then applied paint protection film over it, the film will protect that area until it is removed. If the paint protection film is removed, it’s possible that the area around the non-professional “touch-up” paint could peel off.

Yes. When waxing the vehicle though, some wax may build up along the film edges. This can easily be removed when dried with a soft cloth. Do not use any waxes containing dyes or waxes that are not recommended for urethanes. Abrasive polishes and/or rubbing compounds are not to be used.

Vehicle Wraps Questions

Wrapping a car is the practice of completely or partially covering a vehicle with with vinyl. In the past car wraps where used by businesses to turn their vehicles into a mobile billboard. But with recent advancements in the vinyl industry the prices of the vinyl wrap films have reduced and a variety of new colors and finishes have been introduced to the market. Recently car wraps have been used by the automotive enthusiast to change the color, texture and finish of their vehicles.

First we need to see you and your car. We will go over what colors are available and once you have decided on a product, what your products warranties are. Next we will do a vehicle assessment so that we can give you reasonable expectations for your newly wrapped vehicle.

Every material has a different warranty life. In most instances, they are covered from 1-3 years. In our experience, these times usually vary due to customer care, and the amount of outside exposure that the vehicle gets. A vehicle’s finish that is stored indoors will last much longer than one stored outside. We find that a good way to keep you wrap looking great longer, is to apply one of our ceramic coatings. Ask a Pleasant Details and Tint associate for more details.

Vehicle wraps are printed on sheets of cast or calendered vinyl. The primary difference between the two vinyl wraps is durability. Cast vinyl is best for long-term use of 4 to 7 years; calendered vinyl is appropriate for short-term or flat surface wraps lasting just 3 to 5 years.
